Uniflight Becomes AW119, GrandNew Service Center

AgustaWestland has appointed Grand Prairie, Texas-based Uniflight as an authorized service center (ASC) at its facility in Belle Vernon, Pa. The designation allows the Uniflight location to conduct airframe maintenance inspections on the AW119 and GrandNew models, as well as aftermarket airframe services and warranty support.

AgustaWestland has also confirmed orders for three AW119Kx helicopters from Life Flight Network. Life Flight Network, the launch customer for the AW119Kx variant, finalized the agreement by exercising options based on its initial order for 15 of the air medical transport aircraft. The AW119Kx features Garmin's G1000H flight deck. Deliveries are underway and scheduled for completion in late 2014.
